Morpheus Theatre is a proud member of Calgary’s community theatre scene and is about to embark on our 28th season of shows worth seeing. Morpheus Theatre performs out of the Pumphouse Theatre with offices and rehearsal space in the Parkdale Community Centre. Our typical season of shows includes a farce or comedy, a family pantomime, a more intimate comedy or drama and a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta. We also run a junior theatre school, and various educational workshops for adults. With the exception of some part-time office staff, Morpheus Theatre is run exclusively by volunteer members.

• Strong interpersonal, verbal and written communication skills

• Experience with Theatre Manager, WordPress, and Quickbooks would be a bonus
• Strong self-discipline, initiative, ability to self-manage, and follow complex instructions
